Question

Answer 1

You can download using urllib:-

Python 2

import urllib 
urllib.urlretrieve("web_link", "path")   

you can use requests if weblink needs authentication :

import requests
r = requests.get(web_link, auth=('usrname', 'password'), verify=False,stream=True)   #Note web_link is https://
r.raw.decode_content = True
with open("path", 'wb') as f:
    shutil.copyfileobj(r.raw, f)    

Python 3

import urllib.request
urllib.request.urlretrieve("web_link", "path")
